Finally after having posponed the embargo date hundred times it is gone for real and we are allowed to publish our review. With all of nVidia's launches it's been a while since we have last seen a new Radeon HD 7970 graphics card. The Radeon HD 7970 Matrix Platinum from ASUS come just right to mess up the green team. But not only, with this card ASUS should be able to provide you with a very powerful Radeon HD 7970. Thanks to the fact that this card has been equipped with ASUS' very well performing and yet silent DirectCU II Triple slot cooler along with a strong custom PCB and a huge factory overclocking you might be able to guess where the journey goes.

On the following pages we will show you the strenghts and weaknesses of the ASUS Radeon HD 7970 Matrix Platinum.

One another Media had the same problem, others didn't. Waiting for the new sample from ASUS to do some overclocking.
